The death of Mica Miller, the wife of a pastor in South Carolina, has sent shockwaves through her community and beyond. What initially seemed like a case of suicide has now sparked investigations, allegations of abuse, and a wave of demands for justice.
Mica Miller, aged 30, was found dead on April 27 at Lumber River State Park in Robeson County, North Carolina, with a gunshot wound to her head. Her husband, John-Paul Miller, a senior pastor at Solid Rock Church in Market Common, initially announced her death to their congregation, attributing it to suicide and referencing her struggles with mental illness.
However, details emerging in the aftermath paint a more complex picture. Mica’s family and friends have come forward with alarming allegations, suggesting that her death may not have been self-inflicted as claimed. In court documents filed in Horry County Probate Court, Mica’s sister, Sierra Francis, alleged that Mica expressed fear for her life and had confided in her multiple times, stating, “If I end up with a bullet in my head, it was JP” – referring to her husband.
These allegations have cast doubt on the initial explanation provided by John-Paul Miller and have led to intensified scrutiny of their relationship. Reports indicate a history of abuse and harassment, with Mica reportedly filing for divorce from her husband just two days before her death. Incidents of alleged harassment and surveillance, as well as transfers of assets and suspicious behaviors, have further fueled suspicions surrounding her untimely demise.
The community’s response to Mica’s death has been profound. Rallying cries for justice have echoed outside Solid Rock Church, where John-Paul served as pastor until recently. The church has announced his release from all ministerial functions, marking a significant development in the wake of these allegations.
While investigations are ongoing, the truth behind Mica Miller’s death remains elusive. The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office has promised a detailed report to shed light on the circumstances surrounding her passing. Until then, her family, friends, and supporters continue to seek answers and demand accountability.
